How NOT to Play Golf: Game-losing Mistakes to Avoid

If you're on the mailing list of some catalog companies (Heartland is one of them), you may notice that in some of their monthly mailings there is a golf gadget on almost every other page.

You can get a new and improved driver that guarantee at least 30 to 50 additional yards every time you tee off; you can also get new and improved golf balls that are 'banned from tournaments' because they will eliminate 75% of your unintended slice; there's even a new and improved putter that will help guide your ball to the hole... and each one of these devices claims that by using it, your game will improve by at least 10 percent.

This means that if you buy and use at least 10 of these sure-fire gadgets from their catalog you can be a scratch golfer.

Okay, for purposes of conversation, let's say that all of their claims are true. You now are ready for the tournaments... but if you don't know the Rules, you'll still be a loser - and this book tells you why.

If you haven't heard these horror stories before, you'll be educated and entertained when you see the stupid mistakes that the best of the professionals on the tour make.

Bottom line:
Forget about the gimmicky catalog items that promise to improve your game: if you follow the examples in this book and avoid many of the stupid mistakes that even the pros on the circuit make, your game will definitely improve.

But if you want to continue with your consistent losing streak, then this book will show you the rule-breaking ways that famous professionals have perfected.

About the Author

GENE GROSSMAN was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in the North side neighborhood of Albany Park, where he attended Hibbard Elementary and Von Steuben High School.

He pursued majors in psychology, chemistry and mathematics at Wright Junior College, Roosevelt University and Illinois Institute of Technology - all the while working his way through high school and college by playing piano in clubs on Chicago's then-famous "Rush Street."

After moving to Southern California, he worked his way through law school playing piano in night clubs and appeared as a musician in seven major motion pictures.

While slowly building his law practice, Gene purchased a truckload of movie equipment he rented out to film production companies and then started his own production company which over the years produced more than 50 educational programs on subjects ranting from Boating and Celestial Navigation, to legal subjects (Depositions, Bankruptcy, etc.) Sign Language Instruction and many more.

Always having been interested in boating, getting divorced prompted him to buy and move onto a 45-foot Chris Craft motor yacht in Marina del Rey California,.

Years later, while serving as navigator on a yacht delivery from the U.S. to Tortola, Gene wrote his first book, "Celestial Navigation for Dummies" (before the popular series of 'Dummies' books was created). He used his own production equipment to shoot a video on the subject Celestial Navigation - "Sextant Use and the Sun Noon Shot" and unintentionally started the nautical video industry in this country.

Over the next few years he followed that first title up with more than 50 other educational DVD titles, all displayed on his production company's website at www.MagicLampDVDs.com.

Having moved on from doing scripts for his video productions, Gene turned to writing fiction, and now spends most of his time in the marina on his new boat, where he created the 15-book series of 'Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries,' all now available both in print and as eBooks at Smashwords via www.LegalMystery.com

In addition to the 15 Peter Sharp novels, Gene compiled a group of fiction and non-fiction titles that he has either written or edited for others, plus some classic stories: the publishing company he formed (www.MagicLampPress.com) now has more than 60 books in print.
